Cloud Functions for Firebase

Run backend code without managing servers

A serverless framework that lets you automatically run backend code in response to events triggered by background events, HTTPS requests, the Admin SDK, or Cloud Scheduler jobs.

Develop a backend without servers

Create functions that are triggered by Firebase products, such as changes to data in the Realtime Database, new user sign-ups via Auth, and conversion events in Google Analytics. Are you a Google Cloud developer? SeeGoogle Cloud Functions.

Run your mobile backend code without managing servers

Cloud Functions are single-purpose JavaScript and Python functions that are executed in a secure, managed serverless environment. They are only executed when a specific event being watched is emitted.

Low maintenance

Deploying your code to our servers requires just one command. After that, Cloud Functions automatically scales up computing resources to match the usage patterns of your app. You never have to worry about SSH credentials, server configuration, provisioning new servers, or decommissioning old ones.

Keeps your logic private and secure

In many cases, application logic is best controlled on the server to avoid tampering on the client side. Cloud Functions is fully insulated from the client, so you can be sure its functions are private and secure and can't be reverse engineered.
